What is a rare disease?
Individually rare but collectively common, rare diseases include those of genetic origin. They are life-threatening or chronically debilitating diseases which are of such low prevalence that special, combined efforts are needed to address them.
According to the NPO, Rare Diseases South Africa, patients affected by rare diseases form a minority in our society and receive minimal assistance and attention.
The objectives of the organisation is to support and provide practical aid to individuals and families affected with rare diseases, as well as to promote medical research on rare diseases.
They also create awareness on rare diseases through providing information to individuals, families, medical professionals, schools, organisations and the general public.
There are lots of prizes to be won in all the race distances.
The 10km race will start at 7.45am at a cost of R120 to enter, the 20km starts at 7.30am at R160 and the 40km will start at 7am at R180.
